So far we know that Titanfall won’t have a story mode and that gameplay will quickly jump from human to mech. However, if running and gunning isn’t your thing, we can now confirm that sniping will be an option, but long distance firearms will be available with a twist.

A recent forum post from a Respawn Entertainment rep revealed that the often infuriating but sometimes comical no scoping and quick scoping shots won’t be an option.

“Sniping is in the game, but due to how the game plays it’s a pretty different animal than you’ll find in your run of the mill modern military shooter. Quick scoping and no scoping are ineffective,” said forum user “scriptacus” of Respawn.

The poster didn’t provide any further details on how these shots would be prevented in Titanfall, but we imagine it might be due to a lack of auto aim and maybe the game’s fast pace. Thankfully Titanfall is set to release on March 11th, so we’ve only got a couple more months until we find out what separates Respawn’s game from a “run of the mill modern military shooter.”
